We examined clinical and reseach data about abdominal palpation conducted in japanese oriental medicine from the early stages of its medical history to the latest research, so as to introduce it into korean oriental medicine. That is to say, we studied clinical significance and suitable oriental medicine prescription about following : sweat and moistness of abdominal skin ; temperature of abdominal skin ; palpation and visible peristaltic movement ; meteorism ; tonus of the whole rectus abdominis muscle ; local tonus of parts rectus abdominis muscle ; palpitation of abdominal aorta ; resistance tender on pressure in epigastric region, subcostal region, umbilical region, lower abdomen, para-umbilical region, cecal region, sigmoid region and inguinal region ; sound of fluctuating liquid in the epigastric region. The result was that abdominal palpation was an immediately applicable method of clinical diagnosis in oriental medicine, and is being proven by western medicine methodology today. Therefore we suggest that korean oriental medicine would advance greatly if abdominal palpation were applied.

이중에너지 기법을 이용한 복부 CT 검사에서 적정한 조영제 양에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 일반적인 단일에너지 복부 CT 검사를 시행했던 환자들 중 이중에너지 기법을 이용하여 추적검사를 시행한 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 단일에너지 복부 검사에서 사용했던 조영제 양 대비 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%로 각각 설정하여 영상을 획득한 후 대동맥, 하대정맥, 간문맥, 간실질에 관심영역을 설정하여 조영증강정도(hounsfield unit; HU)를 구하여 단일에너지에서 측정된 부위와의 값을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존대비 60%로 조영제를 설정한 군에서는 대동맥 HU : $210.80{\pm}13.609$, 하대정맥 HU : $190.40{\pm}25.215$, 간문맥 $198.40{\pm}21.232$, 간실질 HU : $119.20{\pm}7.98$로 각각 측정되었으며. 단일에너지 복부 CT 검사는 대동맥 HU : $205.40{\pm}16.426$, 하대정맥 HU : $188.20{\pm}21.476$, 간문맥 HU : $195.40{\pm}22.744$, 간실질 HU : $121.00{\pm}6.595$ 이었다. 따라서 이중에너지를 이용하여 복부 조영 CT검사를 시행할 때 조영제의 양을 60%로 설정한 후 검사하는 것이 각 장기에서의 단일에너지 조영검사시와 비슷한 조영증강정도를 획득할 수 있어 기존 조영제 양의 감소와 동시에 조영제를 낮은 속도로 주입할 수 있어 신장기능 저하환자, 정맥혈관이 약한 환자, 과거 조영제 부작용이 있었던 환자에게 유용한 검사라 사료된다.

최근 흉부 대동맥의 수술적 치료가 과거에 비해 좋은 성적을 얻고 있다. 전 흉부 대동맥을 포함하는 대동맥류나 대동맥 박리증의 경우대개 두단계나세단계로나누어 수술하였다. 본원에서는 숲 대동맥을 포함한 드베키 타입 I 만성 대동맥 박리증 환자에 있어서 한번에 출 대동맥을 치환하는 수술을 시행하였다. 환자는 호흡 부전과 Marfan 환자의 특징적 외모를 갖고있는 25세 남자로 심한 대동맥 부전증과 만성 드베키 타입 I대동맥 박리증 진단하에 수술시행하였다. 수술소견상상행 대동맥이 매우 커져 있었으며 상행대동맥에 두 개의 내막 파열이 관찰되 었고 가혈관으로 부터 늑간 동맥들과 우측 신동맥이 혈공급을 받고있었다. 벤탈 술식과 함께 술 대동맥 치환술을 성공적으로 시행하였으며, 환자는 현재까지 큰 합병증없이 외래를 통해 추적 관찰중이다.

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital pulmonary malformation characterized by presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which receives its blood supply mostly from the anomalous systemic arteries - descending thoracic aorta or abdominal aorta, subclavian artery, innominated artery and internal mammary artery, etc. In our country, 39 cases were reported previously. The patient was a 40 years old woman and admitted due to productive cough for 1 year. The chest X-ray and chest C-T showed a dense mass containing a large cavity with air-fluid level and multiple radiolucent cysts in the right lower lung field. On the operative field, we could identify an aberrant large artery [ $\phi$7mm which arose directly from the descending thoracic aorta at eighth thoracic spinal level and fed the sequestrated portion of the right lower lobe. The aberrant artery was double ligation after division. Only sequestrated lobe on the superolateral lesion of the right lower lobe was resected because of nonseparated lobes in all the right lobes. An abnormal vein and bronchiole were ligated with black silk. The patient`s postoperative course was unevenful.

본 연구에서는 복부대동맥류가 발생한 환자들에서의 연령과 복부대동맥류 형상에 따른 벽 응력과 파열 위험성을 평가하였다. 복부대동맥류의 형상은 의료영상 데이터로부터 추출되어 모사되었으며, 재료 물성치 단계에서는 동맥 조직의 이방성 초탄성 성질을 모사하기 위해 Gasser-Ogden-Holzapfel 모델을 적용하였다. 또한, 모델에서 필요한 각 재료 정수들은 환자들의 연령과 정상 조직 및 동맥류 조직의 특성들을 고려하기 위하여 각기 다른 값들로 산정되었다. 게다가 복부대동맥류에서의 대동맥 직경과 목의 각도에 관한 상관관계를 분석하고, 이에 대한 시리즈 시뮬레이션 역시 수행되었다. 그 결과, 복부대동맥류 환자의 연령과 대동맥 직경, 그리고 대동맥 목의 각도에 따른 복부대동맥류의 파열 위험성이 평가되었다.

Background: Most abdominal aortic aneurysms are degenerative atherosclerotic aneurysms. Inflammatory or infected abdominal aortic aneurysms, which show a slightly different clinical course, are rarely encountered in clinical settings. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical course of these variants of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Methods: This retrospective study included 32 patients with atypical inflammatory or infected abdominal aortic aneurysms who underwent emergent graft replacement between November 1997 and December 2017. Patients were followed up at the outpatient clinic for a mean period of 4.9±6.9 years. We analyzed the patients' clinical course and compared it with that of patients with atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms. Results: There was 1 surgical mortality (3.0%) in a case complicated by aneurysmal free rupture. In 2 cases of infected abdominal aortic aneurysms, anastomotic complications developed immediately postoperatively. During the follow-up period, 10 patients (30%) developed graft complications, and 9 of them underwent reoperations; of these, 2 patients (22.2%) died of postoperative complications after the second operation, whereas 2 patients survived despite graft occlusion. Conclusion: Patients with inflammatory abdominal aneurysms frequently develop postoperative graft complications requiring secondary surgical treatment, so they require close mandatory postoperative follow-up.

A 55-year-old man was admitted to the trauma center after a car accident. Cardiac tamponade, traumatic aortic injury, and hemoperitoneum were diagnosed by ultrasonography. The trauma surgeon, cardiac surgeon, and interventional radiologist discussed the prioritization of interventions. Multi-detector computed tomography was carried out first to determine the severity and extent of the injuries, followed by exploratory sternotomy to repair a left auricle rupture. A damage control laparotomy was then performed to control mesenteric bleeding. Lastly, a descending thoracic aorta injury was treated by endovascular stenting. These procedures were performed in the hybrid-angio room. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 135, without complications.

Chyloascities is an extravasation of milky chyle into the peritoneal cavity due to tumor , inflammation or rarely postoperative lymphatic trauma.It is an unusual complication that can lead to significant immunologic and nutritional consequences.We experienced one case of chyloascites after aorto-bifemoral bypass graft in a patient with aorto-iliac occlusive disease.The patient was a 62-year-old male, who suffered from severe progressive claudication for 5 months. A 16$\times$ 8mm gelsealed Dacron-Y shaped graft was used in arterial reconstruction. A bloody-milky fluid was drained through the operative wound from 3days after operation and evaluated biochemically.Diagnosis of chyloascites was made with repeated paracentesis and examination of the fluid.After Total parenteral nutrition[T.P.N] for 3 weeks from 6days after operation, chyloascites was controlled sufficiently and maintained a good graft-patency in abdominal sonogram.

This study determined the feasibility of the cuff technique for small-caliber vascular grafts in a rat model. A graft was implanted with the cuff technique or suture technique in a 1-cm segment of the abdominal aorta in 12 rats. The mean aortic clamp time was 29 minutes with the cuff technique and 44 minutes with the suture technique; the cuff technique was significantly shorter. Abdominal angiography at 1 week after implantation showed no significant stenosis in 9 rats, focal stenosis of the mid-portion of the graft in 1 rat with each technique, and total occlusion of the graft in 1 rat with the suture technique. We have successfully used the cuff technique for anastomosis for small-caliber vascular grafts in an animal model.
